OCCULT STEREO: From ambient loop-driven soundscapes to fuzz-guitar freakouts and drone-like psychedelic oceans, OS is a solo project from Alex Eliopoulos (of San Francisco experimental rock collective Impuritan). Dual guitar & bass amplifiers provide a full-spectrum sonic wash to listeners, creating an otherworldly vibe when combined with live looping and manipulation of beats, electronics, and voice.
